Twitter Rocket And Jobs!

Updated : Mar 31, 2009

RocketJobs.ie, is proud to announce the launch of our Twitter job search capability. Always looking for ways to improve the user’s experience and get the information they need to them in the way they want it, RocketJobs has introduced the ability for job seekers to send private “direct message” Tweets via their Twitter account to @rocketjobs. The site then uses the terms submitted in the message to search for the most appropriate job match and returns it to the job seeker’s Twitter account.

“Twitter usage in Ireland has seen a massive increase in the last number of months” said Derek Hardiman, RocketJobs.ie founder. “A number of companies are now leveraging this method of connecting with their audience in a meaningful way and we feel that this capability will be a welcome addition for our users and clients” he added. RocketJobs.ie already delivers details of all the latest uploaded jobs to users via Twitter; this new capability builds on that foundation.
Here’s how it works:

Users first follow RocketJobs on twitter at http://twitter.com/rocketjobs
If RocketJobs is not already following the user on Twitter it will auto-follow them back
Once that’s done the user can send a direct message to rocketjobs like this: D rocketjobs java developer
RocketJobs will then direct message the user back with a result like this “Try this - Senior J2EE Software Developer (http://www.rocketjobs.ie/job/1288)“
Direct messages were chosen for privacy reasons . RocketJobs looks forward to building further on this capability and welcomes feedback from users on what they would like to see by simply emailing ideas@rpocketjobs.ie.
